This is so different!
So here I am...in Regina's feature writing class. I haven't had a class with her in a while now, so i'm kind of nervous. I forgot about all the stuff she piles on! =)But that's ok. I'm excited to get back into some writing. I changed my emphasis from newswriting to broadcasting...to public relations, so it's been a while since I've done any writing. Hopefully I won't be too horrible starting out.
So far the class seems like it should go pretty smoothly. I have a feeling it's going to be a fairly quiet class though. If I'm comparing it to the last class I had with Regina, this class is full of saints! I took advanced newswriting with Regina a year or so ago, and I'm pretty sure she hated us all by the end of the semester! However, I have to admit it was the most fun I had ever had in a class. With people like Blake Edwards, Beth Davis, Susan Crooks, and Laura Stillings who wouldn't have fun?! Blake definitely made the class fun and lively, and I thoroughly enjoyed the daily arguments between Blake and Beth. They made sure to loudly discuss their disagreements in front of the whole class.
While I'm just babbling, I might as well throw out there that I'm not too thrilled for my summer to be over already. It seemed like it was just getting started when I realized it was over! I didn't even get to do anything too exciting. I took a four day trip to Lake of the Ozarks, which was a lot of fun. I even scrounged up enough courage to go parasailing. If you know me at all, you know I'm deathly afraid of heights (and spiders). Other than that, I just worked. I bartend at Red Lobster, where I've worked for entirely too long. That place has started to feel like a second home to me, which isn't what I was aiming for. But getting back on the subject, I am hoping this semester will fly by, along with the other two semesters I have left after this one. I kind of have a heavy load for me, but I'm ready to get it over with. My boyfriend has been done with school for a while now, and he just loves to rub it in about how happy he is that he's done. The majority of my other friends are done with school as well, so I feel like I'm playing catch up! My biggest challenge this semester will be my spanish class! I have never taken a drop to spanish and now I have been thrown in a class where I have to get up and sound like a total goober in front of way too many people! But as long as I get through it, I'll be fine.
So, here's to a good semester and I hope you all have the same. I look forward to getting to know everyone better!

That was a pretty amusing semester. And, I really only wanted to hit one or two people :)

Hey Val,
Yep, I know Tyler. We hung out in the same group in high school. I recognized you too. Well, tell Tyler hi for me. It seems like a long time since I've seen him.

OK, I did read this entry before. I thought you told me why it was quiet in the new entry!
